Clinical Application
Pointed-tip reduction forceps provide precise capture and manipulation of small bone fragments during reduction and provisional fixation. At 13.5 cm overall length, this size is useful for procedures in confined operative fields such as hand and wrist, foot and ankle, small-bone trauma, and select maxillofacial work where controlled traction and alignment are required prior to definitive fixation (K-wires, screws, or plates).
Design & Configuration
The narrow, pointed jaws concentrate holding force at the tip for accurate engagement of cortical fragments and small periosteal surfaces. The compact overall length allows comfortable one-handed control in tight fields and minimizes soft-tissue retraction. A reduction-style geometry provides tactile feedback to the surgeon for incremental adjustments while aligning fragments, improving the efficiency of provisional stabilization maneuvers.
